Gates of Olympus 2500: Zeus Returns With Multipliers Up to 2,500x

Zeus is back on the reels in Gates of Olympus 2500, a beefed-up take on Pragmatic Play's original Greek mythology slot. The studio keeps the setting and the basic mechanics of the series, then pushes the multiplier side much further. Multipliers can reach 2,500x the stake, and the game is rated extreme volatility, so it is aimed at players who accept long dry spells in exchange for big swings.

Grid, tumbles and multipliers

The game is played on a 6×5 grid with no traditional paylines. A win lands whenever 8 to 12 or more matching symbols appear anywhere on the screen. Each win sets off a tumble: the winning symbols vanish and new ones drop into the gaps, so a single spin can string several wins together.

Multiplier symbols can drop on any tumble, in the base game and in the bonus rounds alike. They are not applied one by one. Every multiplier that lands during the same spin is added up, and that total is applied to the spin's win. This summing rule is what drives the 2,500x ceiling, since multipliers can show up at random and stack. The listed RTP is 96.51%.

Free spins and the bonus wheel

Four or more scatters trigger the bonus feature, which opens with 15 free spins. Landing three or more scatters during the feature adds another five spins.

Before the free spins begin, you spin a wheel that decides which of four bonus games you get. Two of them are described in detail:

• Free spins 1: multipliers that land on a winning spin go into a running total, which is then applied to that win.
• Free spins 2: every multiplier that lands is added to a running total, and that total applies to all the wins that follow.

Both of these modes also come in a super free spins version, where the minimum multiplier value is raised to 10x.

How it compares with the original

Gates of Olympus 2500 follows the structure of the first Gates of Olympus and is presented as its most developed version. Anyone who has played the original will recognise the tumbles and the multiplier symbols. The difference is the cumulative logic, with running totals in the bonus and a higher floor in the super modes.

Pragmatic Play offers a demo version on the game's official page, available after you confirm you are 18 or older.
